Pacquiao better than Floyd, veteran commentator says

[cortdawg25]

did floyd ever fight in 4 different divisions in 4 different fights back to back to back to back?

i think manny's jumping divisions is slightly superior to floyd's.

by the way which top fighter did floyd beat at 112? none. why? because manny and floyd didn't fight in the same divisions! lol

Floyd would go thru manny's resume easy. Can't say the same for manny. I don't think he would have beat Corrales or Castillo at the time Floyd fought them. And i think Zab could have possibly gotten him as well at that time when floyd fought him.

Pac's legacy is better, but Mr boat buyer is the better fighter imo.

Floyd lives the "I did' mantra. A yr in the pro game and he his a champ and has defended his reign for 11 yrs after. 100% success rate against atleast 15 world champs. He been doing this, he ain't had no losses, no draws, and no close debatable wins in over 12 yrs of fighting. I think he lives the "I DID" mantra!!! 5 weight classes in the higher weight classes where the weight division are atleast 5 lbs apart against champs!

I don't figure how you would consider his legacy better when that is based off3 fighters who built they legacy on fighting each other. the real lb for lb fighter fights all styles of fighters and differnet fighters.


And the fact that he HAD to fight the same 3 fighters in this day and age to show he is the better fighter and with 1 still hasn't really proven he is better.....that should really minimize your resume IMO!

Preach it Larry!!!!!!! Larry Merchant is the GOAT no close second!!!!!!!!!!

i reckon he would.

over 80% of pacquiao's fights were below 130 (the division floyd started at)

even in hypothetical fights , floyd fans are okay with floyd fighting guys 2-3 divisions below him.

here is the thing, pac shows up fight night at 148/144, yet you would have no issue with pac fighting marquez a 3rd time, even if he shows up at that weight during fight time, yet floyd who will come in at 143/144/145 etc against marquez should be critisized? come on man.

Wha?? Coz he's bigger duh? Hopkins would go through Floyd's resume.....easy.
